(1S,5R,7R,30S)-14-De-oxy-isogarcinol.

The title compound, C(38)H(50)O(5) {systematic name: 10-(3-hy-droxy-benzo-yl)-2,2,7,7-tetra-methyl-3,6,8-tris-(3-methyl-but-2-en-yl)-3,4,4a,5,6,7-hexa-hydro-4a,8-methano-2H-cyclo-octa-[b]pyran-9,11(8H)-dione}, is a polyisoprenylated benzophenone, isolated for the first time from the fruits of Garcinia indica during our investigation of bioactive compounds from this plant and their large-scale extraction. The relative configuration of the title compound was chosen based on comparison of its spectroscopic and optical rotation data with that of the isomorphous and isostructural compound isogarcinol, whose absolute configuration is known. The crystal packing features O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. A Cambridge Structural Database analysis revealed that the crystal structure reported here is isomorphous and isostructural with that of isogarcinol.
